Guest guest Posted August 18, 1999 Report Share Posted August 18, 1999 Thyroid patients, particularly those with hypothyroidism, want peace and quiet. They feel the need to withdraw from activity and noise. They have a low tolerance for sound. In essence, they wish to insulate themselves in a surrealistic world of tranquility. One hypothyroid patient said, " I would want peace and quiet at home. If I didn't get it, I would start shouting at my children and my husband. Anything that made a lot of noise or movement irritated me. The TV was a nuisance to me. I couldn't watch it. The children's making a lot of noise was a frustration.
